They made a big whoop-de-doo about crushing all resistance and their overwhelming superior firepower, hauling ass at full pelt across the desert. Pretty impressive, until you consider that they were so hell bent on proving how little resistance they were meeting, they actually drove past an entire Iraqui armoured batallion, leaving their flanks wide open. And then had to 'reverse up' to fight them. More than a little ham fisted. My most overriding memory of the of the whole thing is the Yanks being all show, and no substance.
